started teaching her how to read. Phonics (or sounding our alphabets) is huge here in the U.S. I don't remember phonics being the method of instruction in India. I don't remember exactly how we were taught to read. I think this whole phonetic method sounds silly (I confess my lack of understanding in this area). What system is used in India to teach children how to read? I had an excellent foundation in both spelling and reading and would love to offer the same to my daughter.

I am 17 now and stay in kolkata. I remember that i learned by seeing object and playing with alphabetical toys. Well I learned bengali, english and hindi simultaneously. But i think every kid has its own way of reading like my sister learned very fast by reading alphabetical books. So you should try all possible ways to make the alphabets interesting to her and she will learn it very quickly.
